BIGTRUCK

Just like the last J/F resin body I did, most every part came from the parts box except the rear wheels, they are J/F resin too.Will be a curbside build. 1st...thin the body out, rear area is solid thick bulb of resin 2nd. modify front axle , its way wide 3rd section in rear end to hide metal axle 4th.start building an interior and roll bar The smooth disc wheel covers will be used over the slotted front wheels

Left off the chrome front and added screen in its place not much extra work on the body, all extra work was done on chassis and interior. Paint used was Testors Star Spangled Blue Lacquer and Dupli Color Universal White shot over light grey primer. Window net is piece of old car front bug screen I saved long ago..

Added Slixx decals and P/E hood pins...its about 75 % done

Dont know what happened to my pics but here they are again and new updates in the above post

Pretty sharp batch...

.Bought this one at a show a few years ago [good thing it was cheap], someone started cutting the chassis and interior apart and added a new floor.The rear springs and shocks were missing and so were wheels and tires,found what I needed in parts box. I boxed in the rear frame for fuel cell .. you can see how much was cut out, the bottom chassis and interior tub is how it looked before, now the interior tub is not being used except for the front area behind the firewall for dashboard location Still adding to chassis .

Last of the unfinished builds. I can now start with a clean work area....for now.

Yes I made it, did'nt stay long as it was hot in that building..

Enjoy life to do whatever you want to do....

Painted Burnt orange darkened up by shooting over black primer.Add clear coat and a few more interior parts ..barrel tank and glass , should be done.

I can almost hear it run Art

This was the 2nd kit from the original 1925 Ford The first kit I did the old 007 car, the left over parts options were for a pick up or a "T" Bucket, I opted for the "T" Bucket. The only non kit parts I used so far were the rear slicks, they are from AMT Racemaster slick pack...also lowered the windshield frame so I can use a smaller windshield . Interior is a Butternut yellow and burnt orange . I'm not sure on the body color yet.Touch up chrome with Molotow liquid chrome

Few items from local swaps today

Since everything about this car is fictitious , color choice and adding bumpers on a1925 Ford did'nt matter. The front bumpers are split and rotate for ram mode, the roof opening was made smaller so now the hinge stays on and holds the hatch open, driver side front hubcap is left off for James Bond tire shredder to come out and rear spare still rotates out of the way for rear gun...all at a whopping 35 mph Paint is dark silver with light maroon wheels, interior is dark tan, ejector seat spring is made out of a piece coiled wire.

The 2 tone Pontiac I bought from Okey, he only had two of them and yes $30 was the price,.... The AMX is a USA oldies minus the engine but with an opening hood , engine plug molded into frame.and came with red wall tires, I bought it from another vendor for $33.

Started with a 1925 Ford, added white walls heavy duty wheels and bigger head lights. Cut out the roof top and added another roof over that so it can open for the passenger side ejector seat. Rear spare tire swivels up and left to clear rear mounted machine gun. We'll see what happens as it goes along

Brought a few items back from NNL Nationals yesterday, the first one was a Union kit of a Alpine A210 in 1/24th. I just thought the body style looked great. The other 2 are Johan AMX and a 2 tone Pontiac

Great album Tim with pictures, names and comments. The time and effort to do these albums is appreciated.

Those are pretty cool Bob, I should get a few different ones to build. Your VW came out nice.

Started this build awhile ago, got tired of looking at it so I got it done, nothing special straight forward kit. I only changed the rear tires and steering wheel and added a cowl vent.. Steering wheel was big enough to be in a tug boat.

I wanted to do a quick build that could not be built wrong. I added a 55 mph sign that was knocked down , raised the stop light and added 2 stacks to make the engine look taller and some parts box decals. The rest is from the kit. Sanded seams and a little weathering.

I wake up this morning to the news of the mass shooting in Las Vegas. These attacks and shootings are becoming a way of everyday life. Just sad.

Im hoping for all things good Mark.
